Welp. It's official. #Redis is no longer #OSS
While I wasn't a contributor to the core, I presented on it dozens of times, talked to thousands, and wrote a book about it.
I probably wouldn't have done any of that with that kind of license.
Very disappointed.
You may not make the functionality of the Software or a Modified version
available to third parties as a service or distribute the Software or a
Modified version in a manner that makes the functionality of the
Software available to third parties.
x = “make the functionality of the Software or a Modified version
available to third parties as a service”
y = “distribute the Software or a Modified version”
You may not X, or (Y in a manner that X)
Perfectly normal legalese. Just like “included but not limited to…” it sets a condition and adds a more specific version of that condition, which seems redundant but helps during actual litigation.
I don’t see anything wrong with the quote? Other than the policy itself being a ridiculous change, the wording is pretty standard legal speak. Not sure why you’re jumping to “ChatGPT Lawyer”
You may not X in a way that Y implies that You may X in a way that does not Y, and is more specific (and changes the meaning of the license) vs You may not X
The legal distinction in this case allows for distributing the software for example as source code, but not as a service.

They cheaped out on the lawyer. Maybe it’s a chatGPT lawyer.

Definitely reads weird to me. It should suffice to say “you may not X”.
